Call it luck or destiny but for the Iloilo-based government employee Melen Botin, it’s her faith that brought her to win the brand-new Isuzu mu-X at Lazada’s Online Revolution Sale during the grand raffle draw last January 14.

To make the shopping more exciting, Lazada has partnered with leading diesel commercial vehicle manufacturer Isuzu, to give shoppers a chance to win a brand-new Havana Brown Isuzu mu-X LS-A automatic transmission with Blue Power technology.
From millions of users who purchased from Lazada, Botin—a mother from Jaro Iloilo City—was declared as the grand winner of the Online Revolution Sale after she bought a planner, shampoo and flip flops worth P2,000, which served as her main ticket entry in the electronic raffle.
